I could perceive, by the little taper in my hand, something extraordinary in his countenance.

The little taper was divided into several lengths, and each one began examining for herself.

I see,' he says, 'the little taper in her hands transparent round the light, against rough winds.'

He is like a dim room with a little taper of personality burning on the corner of the mantel.

The old man had kindled a little taper that hardly did more than make shallow hollows in the darkness through which he moved.

On each side of her were two rows of candles, the biggest as thick as a tower, down to the tiniest little taper.

In the weak glow of the little taper, whose tiny flame illuminated but a portion of the living-room, his face looked tense and strained.

I owed him, oh unmistakeably ,certainnoble conceptions; I had lighted my little taper at his smoky lamp, and lo it continued to twinkle.

We had only a little taper (a "rat"), and that hardly let us see more than the first steps of the mysterious staircase.

Tender eyes, old boy, and little tapering hands.

The little tapers are tempted, if I may use so incongruous a figure, to wish themselves set up on loftier stands.

Tommy could not resist lighting one of the little tapers, which burned in the sunlight with a still, clear flame like a fairy candle.
